Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Saanich Core

Nice way to glamp as we had a kitchen and refrigerator. Quiet and rustic neighborhood close to many hiking trails. And plenty of games for extra activities. The fire pit/cauldron was a super way to end our stay.

Priceless views and amazing architecture are showpieces of this magnificent home that combines coziness, elegance, comfort and rustic charm. We’ve stayed at many airbnbs, but this one is a new favorite. It’s an ideal getaway for the whole family; plus it’s close to interesting hikes and restaurants. The kitchen is well stocked for eating at home. We didn’t enjoy the taste of the well water, but bought drinking water at Tru Value. Carley was very responsive and helpful throughout. We would love to come back in the summer.

We can’t say enough about Nancy and Chris’ Airbnb. It was spotless clean, tastefully decorated and all these extra little touches. I’m not sure if it was Nancy or Chris doing the beautiful decorating (lol) but we were impressed! We found the Airbnb quiet and oh so beautiful! We will definitely try to stay here again. The backyard was so beautiful and well kept. Nancy and Chris were friendly and oh so nice. We were in Victoria for our twin granddaughters graduation from UVIC and having a cozy Airbnb like this just added to an already fabulous time. Thank you so much Nancy and Chris. Jenn and Mike.

Mary Lou is an amazing host who has thought of every little detail and has a beautiful house that looks exactly like the pictures. I can thoroughly recommend Sooke and Mary Lou’s house.

Amazing place to stay overlooking Salish Sea. Spent hours looking for seals and whales in the sea. Inside is modern, clean and had everything we needed! Host was incredibly responsive and helped out with all our requests. Thanks Christine!

Lovely little nook in Victoria. The place had everything you needed with a full kitchen and plenty of space despite it being one room. The outdoor space felt private and was perfect for enjoying meals and relaxing. Not more than a minute from the door is a trail network that runs throughout Victoria, which is great for running, biking and going on peaceful hikes totally surrounded by nature. Adam was responsive and helpful with all of our nomadic needs. Highly recommend this place. Hope to come back next year!

Excellent stay here! Private everything, no shared spaces except driveway. *note: Driveway is Not flat, it's quite slanted/FYI. Kitchen is GREAT if you like cooking, LOVED gas range/gas oven, only missing a Glass dish for oven/chicken/baking. Plenty of utensils, didn't really cook a ton so can't think of anything 'missing' TERRIFIC laundry on-site, just didn't see it at first, it's behind the closet door in the foyer. Shower/bathroom is Great! Has "rain" shower heads over your head, Handy soap/shampoo/conditioner etc on a corner rack so if you forget to bring, no worries ! Counter space is good. Lighting is good. This space was built into the rear space behind garage and butts up to a rock wall at the bedroom/bathroom. Daylight comes through but the only outdoor view is living room/patio. Patio has table and 4 chairs. Only negative would be the dull thud pitter patter of a 3 yr old running around ;-) very understandable, but mostly between 3pm/4pm and 7pm-ish. Overall, a terrific stay!

We had such a lovely and relaxing We had such a lovely time at Charles and Kristy’s, exactly what we needed for a getaway from city life for a few days! The house had everything we needed to feel right at home, and oh the views!! When not enjoying the serenity of the home and its amenities, there was plenty to do in the charming downtown area of Friday Harbor and all throughout the island. Us humans and our pup loved every moment of our stay!

Having stayed at many Airbnbs in multiple countries, this is by far one of the best. The hosts, Vi & Duncan greeted us upon arrival and provided a wonderful tour. The gardens & views are breathtaking! The space had everything we needed and more. We appreciated the recommendations and all the hosts did to make our stay ideal. Loved the muffins! Thank you.

We had such a lovely stay at Dal’s place! The king sized bed was extremely comfortable as were the pillows. The shower had great water pressure, which is always a plus, and the whole suite was clean, cozy, and welcoming. The outdoor seating area was a definite highlight. We spent time enjoying the sunshine while watching deer graze nearby, with a charming peek-a-boo view of the ocean in the distance — so peaceful and serene. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better. It’s just a short walk to the Saturday market and local shops, yet far enough away that it still feels quiet and private. We felt extremely safe the entire time, which made it all the more relaxing. Dal was also a good host, offering helpful local recommendations that we really appreciated. Would absolutely stay again!

Absolutely perfect! Close to shops and restaurants. Clean apartment and awesome pool/ hot tub.

Third time here now. A private oasis in Duncan. Close to downtown but far enough to feel away from the bustle. Next time in Duncan hopefully it will be available again! Great spot! Thank you Jane! Bryan and Gail

We had a wonderful stay They we very helpful with everything. And we can't thank Chris enouth for helping us with our car issues Absolute Legend !

Great location that was very peaceful that overlooked the bay. Rooms had comfortable beds that were well maintained. We will be back.

THe apartment exceeded expectations. It was so spacious, sunny and with a great view of the water. The building was grand and very quiet. It was also near the town of Sidney and ferries going to multiple places. My mother and I both had a wonderful time staying here. Neighbors we met were friendly. It was lovely to sit on the balcony and watch the light change on the water and enjoy the lovely weather we had all week. We were only sorry to leave when it was time to go home!

Excellent location to stay for those visiting Victoria, easy to walk to lots of places and centrally located. Place is in a very nice building, very modern and nice apartment great for two people. I would definitely stay again if in Victoria and recommend it to others.

Super responsive, proactive and accommodating

The place is amazing, and Billy was a great host. Every part of the property and accommodation is great. We especially enjoyed the private river access, sauna, and comfortable, well set up cabin. The space is also super flexible with lots to do, lots of places to hang out, and works for big groups. Finally, we loved how well prepared and clear things were in terms of pre-made fire places, instructions, etc. Great experience and hope to return for sure.

This is an absolutely stunning house with a gorgeous view and perfect location for visiting Salt Spring Island. We were 7 adults and 4 children, here for a weekend and it is well equipped for families. (High chair, cribs, etc.) We were able to walk into town from the house enjoying the Saturday market but the house location is private and pristine. There is a very cottage feeling to the place yet it is also large and elegant as well. A nice mix of experiences. The kitchen is well equipped with anything you could possibly want and the house in general is well supplied with books, games, and activities. It is large enough that you can wander off for some peaceful time on your own while at the same time, the living room and dining room could easily accommodate our numbers as well. We did find some of the furniture, while charming, a bit uncomfortable to sit in and the very firm mattress on the king bed was a bit too much for our aging backs, but that's a plus for some.

The place was clean and the view was amazing. The hosts were very quick if we needed anything they were right there and very quick to respond. We for sure will tell our friends to check it out.

We were here for a night. We loved our stay, especially the backyard water view. We also spotted deer multiple times. The place was well cleaned and maintained.

Space was rented for a few employees who were working on the area, it served its purpose!

Jennifer's place exceeded our expectations, the home was spotless and spacious and the back garden views were exceptional. Beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was fully equipped and the walk out patio was lovely. Jennifer and Al were helpful and welcoming, very responsive. Would definitely recommend and return.
